" IMPROVEMENT IN GEVEN-POWER.

` The Schedule referred to in these LetteraI-atent and making part o the Sam "Beit knownl thatI, GEORGE THRLKELD MON- TAGUE, of Keokuk, Lee county, Iowa, have made a ne'w and useful Improvement in Chinn-Powers; and

I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference beinghad to the accom# panying drawing and to the letters of referencemarked thereon,` in which i Figure l is a vertical section of `my apparatus.

Figure 2` is a horizontal section of apart of thesame, taken Lon line W-X of fig. l.

The object of this invention is siniplyto provide a mechanical apparatus to move the ordinary handv churn-dash, with an accelerated speed, and considerahle advantage of ease.Y m

The apparatus is made and used substantially as shown and set forth.

A is a base-board, lying iiaton the floor, with an upright frame from it, consisting of upright partsC and D, and al top piece, E, bearing an overhanging head-part, F, directly above the pointB on the board A, 'where the churn, Vot' any ordinary and suitable shape, may be placed, R representing apart of the handle of itsupright dasher. v

The two "parts O and D `hold through them two `horizontal shaits,`H and" L, with gearing between them, so that, when H isV turned by thchand-crauks G, L will be turuedvery'much'faster, with its fly- From crank-pin N reaches upward apitmau or thrusting-shaft, O, which connects to another pin or point, P', so that it will be thrust up and down by the revolution of the ily-wheel M.

In the part'F is a part, P, resting or fitting int-o an upright slot-way iu it,which hassunken channels, F' F, up and down' on the two sides, into which guides on part P tand play, so as tohe held true and in place as the part 1 is thrust up and'down The part P has la bifurcated part, T, on its front, to receive the handle of the churn-dash R, which a clamp, U, and screw, S, attaches to itso as to he forcibly drawn up and down, to give the correspondingvmotions, suitably to the dasher for churning in the ordinary manner, much faster than the crank G,

which thus inoves it, lis turned, the action of the ilywheel M, with the crank G,.greatly facilitating andsaving the laborof the churning.

Some modifications may be made in the construction.

The arrangement of the base-board A, resting upon the iloor and receiving the churn, with the uprights C andD, and the head F, the moving parts H, L, P,

and S, and overlianging the position of the churn on board A, substantially asset forth, to form a churn- Joiver.` l GEORGE THRELKELD MONTAGUE.
